If the Storm God had come out to mediate right after the battle ended, Leon, who was still fuming, would have flatly refused and might even have held a grudge against the Storm God.
Leon's temper wasn't great, but by now he had long since calmed down, at least not to the point of losing his mind... Mainly because he was the winner, having just refined the Saint Avatar of the Ocean Goddess and concocted a batch of Golden Cores, consuming them all could significantly boost his power, or he could share them to cultivate a group of powerful allies with Divine qualities.
Besides, while waging war can provide momentary satisfaction and clarity of thought, considering the future, one must also think about the consequences.
He could defeat the Ocean Goddess on the Material Plane but had no means to reach her Divine Country to eliminate her. Since he couldn't eliminate the root of the problem, wouldn't it be better to resolve enmity rather than create it?
